Virtue Game
A game that teaches lessons....
The brand new, award-winning Virtue Game manages to strike a surprising balance: teach kids important lessons about virtue and make it fun. Sound impossible? Apparently not.
According to creator Anne Brunell, Virtue Game is designed to get kids thinking about important virtues by “putting kids in lighthearted, funny situations that bring out the best in them.” The game challenges kids -- and adults -- to answer questions and perform mini-tasks in an effort to satisfy certain virtues reflected on their individual game boards. The rules are super simple and the often humorous questions deliver gentle messages of cooperation, compassion, integrity, enthusiasm, trust, friendliness and more.
Is it fun? We played as a family. Four-year-old Maddie won and when we were done, nine-year-old Mason said, "can we play again." Absolutely kids, we'll play this one as many times as you like!
